Hi MiKayla,
I work for Cisco Systems. I don't want to turn this comment into an ad, but it's kind of impossible to talk about network engineering without mentioning Cisco. You may also like to know that, for a few years now, Cisco has been in the top ten best places to work worldwide: https://www.greatplacetowork.com/certified-company/1000064
There are plenty of opportunities to learn and develop for students & new graduates: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/careers/working-at-cisco/students-and-new-graduate-programs.html
And there's the Networking Academy, with classroom and online courses to further your education: https://www.netacad.com/
Hope this helps!
Best,
Mariley

Hi Mikayla,
There are several tier-1 networking companies which you can look to build your career. Companies like Cisco, Juniper etc are well known for their networking prowess and their foray into core routing and switching, IoT, software-defined networking, Virtualisation and so on.
I would strongly recommend you Cisco if you are looking for the tier-1 firm, however, if you wish to work with niche players there are several other firms too.
Good luck.
